*The Arcanum Photo Critique and Make-Over with @115105647022907007398 @108805430409141907975 @118036378782834084572 and me!* Feb 10, 7 PM PT, 10 PM ET
As we march toward opening the doors to www.TheArcanum.com, you're invited to participate in this special event just for our community!
Through participating in this event our community will get a taste of The Arcanum Experience: Learning through constructive critiques, which is just one of the many things that happen inside the hallowed magical doors!
The Arcanum Photo Critique and Make-Over event is a Google+ Hangout On Air, open to the public, scheduled for Monday February 10th at 7pm.
*To Participate:*
You must submit a single candidate photo by Sunday, February 9th to be considered for the random selection. You can submit any photo to The Arcanum Google+ page at @111508817579086020312 .
Since you already applied to The Arcanum - we truly hope you'll submit a photo to be critiqued. If not, no worries at all! Either way, you can watch the live event! :)
And if you're wondering when the doors will officially open for The Arcanum, the answer is as soon as magically possible! We're doing a test run right now with all the Masters to work out any kinks. Also, we are a _bit_ (!!) overloaded with Apprentice applications, so it will take a while to ramp up. It may be a good opportunity for you to pop over and update your application at www.TheArcanum.com !
Thank you!

Haven't watched it yet, but I can say with 100% certainty that you (or I, or anyone) could, without doubt, survive eating only bacon for the rest of our life. In fact, when you think about it, it's a total no-brainer.

About a week ago, I installed Google Photos automatic uploader. Since then, I've been swamped with notifications about the automatic creations that it has made for me. It's pretty good at mixing photos and videos into these little multi-media extravaganzas.

This is one from our Vietnam holiday in January.﻿

Seriously good news from Google. I hope it isn't a pre-cursor to killing it off though.

Today we’re making the Nik Collection available to everyone, for free.

Photo enthusiasts all over the world use the Nik Collection to get the best out of their images every day. As we continue to focus our long-term investments in building incredible photo editing tools for mobile, including Google Photos and Snapseed, we’ve decided to make the Nik Collection desktop suite available for free, so that now anyone can use it.

The Nik Collection is comprised of seven desktop plug-ins that provide a powerful range of photo editing capabilities -- from filter applications that improve color correction, to retouching and creative effects, to image sharpening that brings out all the hidden details, to the ability to make adjustments to the color and tonality of images.

Starting March 24, 2016, the latest Nik Collection will be freely available to download: Analog Efex Pro, Color Efex Pro, Silver Efex Pro, Viveza, HDR Efex Pro, Sharpener Pro and Dfine. If you purchased the Nik Collection in 2016, you will receive a full refund, which we’ll automatically issue back to you in the coming days.

We’re excited to bring the powerful photo editing tools once only used by professionals to even more people now. ﻿___Seriously good news from Google. I hope it isn't a pre-cursor to killing it off though.

Deep inside the Marble Mountains in Da Nang. During the Vietnam war, these caves were used as a hospital by the Vietnamese forces. Remarkable given that a US airbase was only a couple of kilometres away. Apparently the Americans never knew.

- that you only know what they are after they come true - but, if they don't come true they aren't premonitions.

To me, they come as a random, bizarre thought, totally out of place that I hope I can ignore but that sometimes come back and haunt me.

My latest came this past weekend and I really wish it hadn’t.

On Saturday evening, I was listening to Blackstar (David Bowie’s latest release) on my computer. I was also reading stuff on the web too. One of the articles I read was about the recently departed Lemmy. I was never a Motorhead fan and, while I recognise that Lemmy was one of the true character’s of Rock and Roll, I was largely unmoved by his passing.

So, on Saturday, reading about him while listening to Bowie’s album released on his birthday, I suddenly had the weird thought, “if this is what it’s like when somebody like Lemmy dies a few days after their birthday, what would it be like if David Bowie were to pass on a few days after his birthday?” After a quick shudder, I carried on listening and thought nothing more about it.
